If there’s no problem with the game server at this time but the COD Vanguard is still not connecting at this time, you may want to see if it’s being caused by an issue by something external.

Problems in your ISP’s infrastructure may lead to certain online services being affected as well.

You also want to know the status of the internet connection on the computer or console you’re playing Call Of Duty Vanguard on. You want to perform a speed test on your PC or console so you can check the download and upload speeds.
